உன் தலைமுடி
உதிா்வதைக்கூட தாங்க
முடியாது அன்பே கண்
இமைகளில் உன்னை
நான் தாங்குவேன்
...
உன் ஒரு நொடி
பிாிவினைக்கூட ஏற்க
முடியாது கண்ணே
என் கனவிலும் உன்
முகம் தேடுவேன்
Even the falling of a strand of your hair
I cannot bear, my love
I will carry you safely upon my eyelashes
உன்னை வானத்தில்
தேடியே மேகம் கண்ணீரை
சிந்துதோ உன்னை நான் கண்டு
சேரவே பூமி என்னோடு சுற்றுதோ
Even a single moment of separation from you
I cannot accept, my darling
I will search for your face even in my dreams...
உன் தலைமுடி
உதிா்வதைக்கூட தாங்க
முடியாது அன்பே கண்
இமைகளில் உன்னை
நான் தாங்குவேன்
Searching for you in the sky
Is that why the clouds shed tears of rain?
To find you and unite with you
Is that why the earth spins along with me?
உன் ஒரு நொடி
பிாிவினைக்கூட ஏற்க
முடியாது கண்ணே
என் கனவிலும் உன்
முகம் தேடுவேன்
Even the falling of a strand of your hair
I cannot bear, my love
I will carry you safely upon my eyelashes
உச்சந்தலை மீது
நீ கொடுக்கும் முத்தம்
உயிாின் மீது பட்டுத்
தெறிக்கும் கைகள்
பற்றிக்கொண்டு
பேசிக்கொள்ளும்
நேரம் இனிக்கும்
Even a single moment of separation from you
I cannot accept, my darling
I will search for your face even in my dreams
எதிா் வரும்
காற்று உன் பெயரை
என்னில் தினமும்
கிறுக்கிவிட்டுப் போகும்
உன் நெற்றிப் பொட்டுக்குள்ளே
கொட்டிவிட்டேன் என்னை முழுதும்
Upon the crown of my head
The kiss that you give
Hits my soul and bounces back
உன் கண்ணில்
பட்ட பூவை கூந்தலுக்குள்
வைப்பேன் காலில் பட்ட
கல்லை மூக்குத்தியில் வைப்பேன்
Holding hands together
The moments spent talking are sweet... mmm
கையில் பட்ட
என்னை உன் இதயப்
பையில் வைப்பேன்
என்னைக் கொடுப்பேன் ஓ....
The breeze blowing towards me
Scribbles your name on me every day and leaves
Inside the bindi on your forehead
I have poured out my whole self... mm
உன் தலைமுடி
உதிா்வதைக்கூட தாங்க
முடியாது அன்பே கண்
இமைகளில் உன்னை
நான் தாங்குவேன்
The flower caught in your gaze
I shall place inside your hair
The stone that touched your foot
I shall place upon my nose stud
உன் ஒரு நொடி
பிாிவினைக்கூட ஏற்க
முடியாது கண்ணே
என் கனவிலும் உன்
முகம் தேடுவேன்
Me, whom your hand touched
I shall place in the pouch of your heart
I will surrender myself, oooo
நீயும் என்னை
தினம் தேட வேண்டும்
என்று தொலைந்துப் போக
கொஞ்சம் ஆசை நான்
அணைத்து தூங்கும் மீசை
வைத்த பொம்மை நீயே....
Even the falling of a strand of your hair
I cannot bear, my love
I will carry you safely upon my eyelashes
மேய்ச்சல்
நிலமாக விழுந்து
கிடக்கிறேன் மேய்ந்துக்
கொள் என்னை முழுதும்
ஒட்டுயின்றி தூங்கும் என்
மாா்பில் உந்தன் முத்தம் தினமும்....
Even a single moment of separation from you
I cannot accept, my darling
I will search for your face even in my dreams
உன்னைப் பற்றி
ஏறும் காதல் கொடி நானே
உன் கையெழுத்தைத் தாங்கும்
காகிதமும் நானே உன் உள்ளங்கையில்
சுற்றும் பம்பரமும் நானே
எந்தன் உயிரே... ஓஹோ
So that you too would search for me
Every single day
I desire to get lost a little
உன் தலைமுடி
உதிா்வதைக்கூட தாங்க
முடியாது அன்பே கண்
இமைகளில் உன்னை
நான் தாங்குவேன்
The doll that I embrace and sleep with
You are that doll with a mustache
உன் ஒரு நொடி
பிாிவினைக்கூட ஏற்க
முடியாது கண்ணே
என் கனவிலும் உன்
முகம் தேடுவேன்
As a lush grazing field
I lie fallen here
Graze upon me entirely
On my chest where I sleep without rest
Your kiss falls every day
உன்னை வானத்தில்
தேடியே மேகம் கண்ணீரை
சிந்துதோ உன்னை நான் கண்டு
சேரவே பூமி என்னோடு சுற்றுதோ
I am the vine of love climbing upon you
I am the paper bearing your handwriting
I am the spinning top twirling in your palm
Oh my very life, oh hooo
Even the falling of a strand of your hair
I cannot bear, my love
I will carry you safely upon my eyelashes
Even a single moment of separation from you
I cannot accept, my darling
I will search for your face even in my dreams...
Searching for you in the sky
Is that why the clouds shed tears of rain?
To find you and unite with you
Is that why the earth spins along with me?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Un Thalai Mudi Udhirvadhai is a tender and deeply expressive romantic song from the movie Kadhalil Vizhunthen (2008), written by lyricist Thamarai. The song expresses extreme devotion, delicacy, and intense affection between lovers, where even the smallest loss like a falling strand of hair is unbearable to the lover. The protagonist uses evocative imagery—comparing the lover to a doll with a mustache, a vine climbing up a tree, paper holding handwriting, and a top spinning in a hand—to emphasize absolute emotional dependency and deep intimate bond.

Poetic devices
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navortchi Ani)
“Un thalai mudi udhirvadhai kooda thaanga mudiyaadhu anbae”

Personification (Uruvagandhal Ani)
“Unnai vaanathil thediyae megam kanneerai sindhudho”
Attributing human emotions and actions to natural phenomena like rain falling as clouds weeping in search of the lover.
Metaphor (Uruvagam Ani)
“Unnai patri yerum kaadhal kodi naanae”
Describing oneself as a vine (kaadhal kodi), paper (kaagidham), and a top (bambaram) to illustrate submission and attachment to the lover.

Trivia
Though Kadhalil Vizhunthen is widely famous for the hit dance number 'Nakka Mukka', 'Un Thalai Mudi Udhirvadhai' composed by Vijay Antony stands out as one of Thamarai's finest female-perspective romantic lyrics, celebrated for its unique metaphors like 'Meesai vaitha bommai' (mustached doll).
